Reviews for French Quarter Grille in Austin, TX
I walked in looking like I might skip on the check and was still seated and served very well, I was not expecting to find such... an upscale place at this location, food was awesome tasting, I had the Calamari, the complimentary roll and butter just meltedin my mouth, I have no idea what they season the butter with but it was soooo tasty. I will come back here again, not alonethough, this seems like the perfect spot for a couple to call their favorite restaurant! Read more
Great place to take your date. I love the art, the French cuisine, the jazz music, not to mention the food! The New Orleans... vibe! Try the tilapia fish and steak?? and the chocolate creme Brulee ???? Read more
Tasty foods! Great selection of seafood and good sides. Bread is decent. Had the grilled ribeye with caramelized onions and... mushrooms. Great flavors without overwhelming the taste of the meat. Had the red fish special with spicy sauce and it wasseasoned very well. Service was great. Only odd thing was the layout of the restaurant. Some tables have cloths, some don't,the establishment is partitioned into 2 areas with no real rhyme or reason. Read more
Delicious meal enjoyed in a very nice bar setting perfect for solo diners. Friendly bartender & service. The gumbo excellent and... filling, the beef & shrimp cheese tortellini was delicious and chocolate crème raspberry brûlée phenomenal! The restaurantis cozy upscale and appears perfect for a business party or romantic meal. So many wines to choose from as well as a full bar. Read more
The food here tastes great and authentic. They do have a special dish of the day that is not on the menu. If the server suggest... the special dish of the day, please make sure that you ask how much the dish is. The quantity size of the dish may not add upto the cost of this special dish. I failed to ask and I was not told up front and was surprised at the $36 costs for a dish thatwas smaller than my my wife's $16 plate. We paid for our food, tipped the waitress and I learned a valuable lesson. Regardlessof how good the food sounds when the server describes it, Never agree to the special dish without knowing the cost of front. Read more
Wow!! We can?t believe we?ve never left a review here before! This is our go-to for special evenings. The staff is amazing & the... food is the best Cajun in town. We love the Shrimp Yoli appetizer. I almost always get the Catfish Yoli or the RedfishPonchetrain. Hubby just discovered the chicken & pesto tortellini and it?s his new favorite. Read more
I hadn't been here in some time but this is really a great restaurant. We had a slight wait at lunch but not long. The waitress... was awesome and the owner was very attentive and friendly. We had an awesome time and I look forward to sharing this gem withmy family and friends. Every dish was delicious! Read more
Firstly the wait list is a joke. Why call ahead of time just to still wait an additional 30 minutes, we called ahead purposely... asking for the wait time and to be put on the list. While seated there, the dingy atmosphere lighting covered up the poorlyrenovated interior. Once seated it took 30 minutes to receive a diet coke and a hurricane from an empty bar with staff seeminglydoing nothing. The cliental was aged, which explains why each plate was bland. The waitress was rude and gave me a "seriously"as an answer when she brought the check before asking if we wanted desert. I only order the desert because it was"award-winning". I do not recommend anyone to come to this place and will not be returning to allow any form of redemption. Weentered at 7:30pm and left at 9:00pm. I imagine they bring the greatest shame to actual French Quarter District. Read more
